Same thing with my fixed gear riding, which others have commented on in a negative way. Maybe riding fixed doesn't work for them; that's fine with me and I'll continue to enjoy it regardless.
I have an automated script that posts "you're crazy" in every one of your double century reports -- so most of those comments are probably from me!
This morning I got passed by a guy on a FG on my way to work, going up a modest hill. We were coming to a screaming downhill, and he slowed down and pulled to the right, saying, "I know you're going to pass me going down the hill," at which point I told him about this crazy new invention called freewheels.
